A will is not reserved for non-Muslims. Muslim residents in Abu Dhabi can put their wishes in writing too — though the route deserves care, because the statute behind the ADJD civil wills office is written for non-Muslims while the office itself states that non-UAE citizens may register regardless of religion. What a will can achieve is bounded by Islamic inheritance rules: the prescribed shares govern most of the estate, a bequest is generally capped at one third, and a bequest to a legal heir typically needs the other heirs’ consent.
SRAG Wills prepares Muslim wills honestly, within those bounds. We check your eligibility against both positions before filing, draft the will, coordinate attestation and submission, and explain from the first conversation what we do not do — we do not calculate Sharia shares. For that, you take specialist advice on your family’s entitlements; we make sure the document you sign reflects it and stands up at the registrar.
How preparation works
Honest consultation
We confirm your situation, flag the ADJD eligibility questions up front, and set out what a will can and cannot do under Sharia.
Drafting
We draft the will to your instructions, framed consistently with what the registrar will accept.
Attestation & submission
We coordinate attestation and registrar submission, so the will is properly lodged and your family is left with no open questions.
Disclaimer: SRAG Wills is a wills consultancy, not a law firm or government body. Registration is completed with the DIFC Courts Wills Service or ADJD; estate and inheritance cases are filed with the Dubai Courts.
